When salt water is added to onion cells, then the cells will lose water due to osmosis, this can be observed.
Answer:
17.76g
Explanation:
We need to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction:
2Al(OH)3 + 3Ca(NO3)2 ——> 3Ca(OH)2 + 2Al(NO3)3
In the reaction above, it can be seen that 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide yielded 3 moles of calcium hydroxide. This is the theoretical viewpoint.
Now we need to know what actually happened. We need to calculate the actual number of moles of aluminum hydroxide reacted l. We can get this by dividing the mass by the molar mass.
The molar mass of aluminum hydroxide is 27+ 3( 16+1)
= 27 + 51 = 78g/mol
The number of moles is thus: 12.55/78 = 0.16 moles
Now if 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide gave 3 moles of calcium hydroxide, 0.16moles will give : (0.16*3)/2 = 0.24moles
Now we can calculate the mass of calcium hydroxide formed. The mass of calcium hydroxide formed is the number of moles multiplied by the molar mass.
The molar mass of calcium hydroxide is; 40 + 2(17) = 74g/mol
The mass is thus =74 * 0.24 = 17.76g
I would personally convert the 12 mg to g so I could see what I was working with. So 12 mg to grams is 0.012 g...
so 1 tablet is 0.012g. the patient needs 0.024 g.
so 0.024g/0.012g = 2 tablets or 0.012g X 2 is 0.024 g
hope this helps :)
